Shuichi Akai still had the black collar around his neck, but at this time he was no longer the organization's loyal dog Lei.

——Regarding the collar, Jiang Lai had repeatedly confirmed the safety issues before implementing the plan to capture Akai Shuichi. In addition to Gin's real-time confirmation that the two functions of eavesdropping and positioning would never be turned on, he also used the seeds that Xiao Mianyang had planted in the organization system to quietly filter one side and check if there were any possible related archive folders.

At the same time, just in case, after he captured Shuichi Akai on a rainy day, he placed a small signal jammer on him.

Jiang Lai: You can never be too cautious. More precautions are always better.

Finally, Jiang Lai opened up the comic book God's perspective, and from the details displayed by the gentleman's computer in the organization's daily life, he took screenshots and magnified the contents of the folders one by one, and screened and searched based on the gentleman's habits.

Akira Kurosawa said: "The eavesdropping and positioning functions will not be turned on in real time, especially eavesdropping, because there will be signal interference and other effects in certain missions. These two functions will probably only be turned on when the gentleman deliberately gives a mission to test Ley."

"This time, the gentleman is recuperating in seclusion. In order to be able to quickly target individuals if something happens, and at the same time, he doesn't want to delegate too much power and let his subordinates fight among themselves, so he will probably only temporarily share the collar rights with Gin... After all, he gave him part of it before."

"That gentleman really trusts Gin." Jiang Lai sighed.

Kurosawa Akira chuckled: "People never think that tools can escape control, right?"

Indeed. That gentleman always thinks of his subordinates as tools. If they are not tools, then they are turned into tools through brainwashing. Jiang Lai now has a clearer understanding of that gentleman's character.

The other party trusts Gin so much, probably because Gin was cultivated in the laboratory since he was young, he knows where he came from and is sure that he has a grasp of the other party's future, so he is so confident to the point of arrogance. Jiang Lai thought. But no matter what, people are not cold tools, even if they are made and cultivated to grow up, they also have their own thoughts and choices, personality and soul.

Finally, Jiang Lai sighed subconsciously: "Xiao Zhao knows that gentleman very well."

He raised his hand and touched the head of the silver-haired boy beside him.

Everyone sat at the dining table, ready to have an after-dinner conversation.

After a few hours of thinking, Shuichi Akai has successfully connected the previous events and the recent events. There are still red marks on his wrists from being bound by iron chains and struggling hard, and the slight swelling at the corners of his mouth caused by the mouth opener and other objects has not healed yet.

However, thinking back now, these traces have become evidence that has caused trouble for Jiang Lai and his team. Although he was the one who was tied up for three days, it was for treatment - Jiang Lai and his team had to work hard to find the antidote and suppress him.

So Akai Shuichi paused, faced the gazes of the other pairs of eyes, remained silent for two seconds, and then spoke in a low voice: "Sorry for the trouble these days."

"It's OK, it's not too much trouble." Jiang Lai responded politely out of habit. He wanted to add "Remember to pay the water and electricity bills and the medical fees", but because he was worried that the two people present would think of the little sheep, he simply held back and only added, "Remember to take the garbage away when you leave."

Facing Akai Shuichi's mild words, Furuya Rei replied in a sarcastic tone: "Does the famous FBI still know how to say it's a trouble? But I can't hear any sincerity at all."

Morobushi Kagemitsu maintained a smile and said, "I have just told you the general situation here. Now is the period of full cooperation and confrontation with the organization. Now, you can tell me the intelligence you have obtained during this period."

Jiang Lai felt that the biggest gain of Shuichi Akai's gamble was that it stimulated Gin to jump into the circle completely. However, it would naturally be better if other intelligence could be gained.

Akai Shuichi paused for a few seconds, then began to recall and slowly recount the news he had seen and heard in the organization in recent days. Everyone in front of him listened attentively and took notes.

At the end, Akai Shuichi said: "...I will remove this collar at the end. Now I will continue to lurk in the organization."

"You can't unlock it now," said Furuya Ling, "We don't have the password to this thing."

"Is that gentleman the only one who has the password?" Jiang Lai asked, "Besides the password, do you know any other way to unlock it?"

"Detonation is also a way." Akai Shuichi said lightly.

Jiang Lai: ...Are you serious?

Don't make a sudden joke at a time like this! People don't understand American black humor!

"I just don't know how powerful the explosion is." Shuichi Akai touched the collar around his neck, his eyes filled with thought.

"This is what that gentleman used to control you. The amount of explosives must have been precisely measured to kill you without affecting others." Morobushi Kagemitsu seemed to be able to guess what Akai Shuichi meant. He shook his head and said, "If you want to use this to kill that gentleman, it probably won't work."

Jiang Lai was stunned for a second before he responded: "...Do you want to be a human bomb?"

"If necessary, it's possible."

"Rather than thinking about this, why not think about how we can quickly kill you if you are controlled again?" Kurosawa Akira held a cup of water painted with pink bunnies, his voice childish but ruthless, "If you betray us and stab us in the back during the decisive battle, we will be in great trouble."

The silver-haired boy raised his gray-green eyes: "The antidote did restore your memory, but we are not sure whether the organization's current technology can temporarily break free and then trigger control with certain words."

Jiang Lai: "...This is too unfair." Is this something that normal technology can do! Even science still has logic -

"Just in case, we should always consider the worst-case scenario," Kurosawa Akira replied. "Only by considering the worst-case scenario can we avoid being caught off guard when an unexpected event occurs."

"Ah, that's it." Toru Amuro's face was not very good. He raised his purple-gray eyes, "At the moment of the decisive battle, for the sake of certain people and the overall situation, I will definitely, definitely kill [Lai]." He deliberately emphasized a certain code name.

"Okay." Akai Shuichi still had a calm expression. He nodded and said, "If this really happens, please kill [Lei]."

Shuichi Akai then proposed several suggestions to implant or hang micro-bombs on him so that they could remotely control and kill [Rai]. He was nonchalant about it, as if he was not talking about his own life.

——It is a highly rational way of completely removing oneself as a chess piece and focusing on the whole.

Jiang Lai took a sip of tea. He believed and hoped that the situation would not turn out like this in the future, but it was true... it was always right to expect the worst outcome.

"In short, it shouldn't be a big problem. As long as you lie in wait far enough and kill the enemy with the final blow, that gentleman won't be able to use this method even if he has it." Jiang Lai raised his warm brown eyes, "Thank you for your hard work, Agent Akai."

"Everyone is like this, just with different positions and division of labor." Akai Shuichi said calmly.

Jiang Lai put down his water cup. They had already anticipated the possible backstab, so what other cards could that gentleman have?

He rubbed his fingertips and asked, "Do you think that gentleman has any other powerful hidden means?"

Shuichi Akai shook his head: "After all, I was an FBI agent. He didn't trust me 100% and would deliberately exclude me from many conversations."

"However," said Shuichi Akai, "after a certain electric shock punishment, I remained where I was."

"The gentleman was in top gear and I did lose consciousness very quickly. It was only at the end... I noticed that he was using terms of address in his conversation, like he was talking to a senior Japanese official."

"Huh?!" Furiya Rei narrowed his eyes, "Are you saying that our top leaders are colluding with the organization?"

"I'm just saying what I heard." Akai Shuichi replied.

"...Wow," Jiang Lai chuckled, his tone unclear, "I indeed forgot to consider the possibility of a friendly backstab."

"But why?" Zhu Fu Jingguang's blue-gray eyes calmed down. "The higher-ups are spending so much effort to get us to encircle and suppress the organization, and they also want to contact the gentleman in the organization?"

"It's like making a deal, big sticks and sweet dates are common tactics. What good can you get from threatening that gentleman with the encirclement and suppression organization?" Jiang Lai guessed. He held his chin with one hand, his posture was casual, but his words were full of aura. "This kind of work where we are cannon fodder while those guys sit back and reap the benefits, I and the people here don't want to do it."

Jiang Lai made his point clear first.

"..." The silver-haired boy who had been silent all this time spoke up, "Maybe it's not the higher-ups who are threatening that gentleman, but that gentleman has something in his hand that can threaten the higher-ups."

"Relatives and friends? Transactions? Shady dealings?" Jiang Lai blurted out several words in succession.

"It is indeed possible to control an individual with these, but not a group of people. There must be people in the top leadership who stick to principles. In addition, the current crackdown on the organization involves the participation of various countries. If the Japanese top leaders really make a deal with the organization and do some tricks, the top leaders of other countries will also find out." Kurosawa Akira analyzed.

He shook his head slightly. “So, it’s not that simple. Maybe the threat is something broader and more costly, and it could even extend to other regions outside of mainland Japan.”

The faces of Morofushi Kagemitsu and Furiya Rei both became serious.

"An organization that has been around for more than a century has never been destroyed. In addition to the fact that the organization itself is powerful, there may be something holding back the people here, so that countries have previously only controlled the size of the organization and sought to find out internal information, rather than directly focusing on destroying it."

Jiang Lai half-jokingly asked, "Could it be a bomb buried in an important place?"

Will the real protagonist, the eight eggs (bombs), appear at the last moment?

However, Akai Shuichi quickly followed up with this joke: "It's possible."

"… In certain places in Japan and around the world, ultra-long-range bombs specially developed by the organization are buried, which are tied to the organization, or the life of that gentleman." Morobushi Kagemitsu said slowly.

"But, won't the bomb be discovered?" Jiang Lai was stunned for a second.

"The range is too large, the bombs are too small, and there are too many of them. The most important thing is that this thing can be updated and placed at any time, or buried underground and equipped with something to shield the search - it can indeed be done with the organization's technology." Morobushi Jingguang exhaled, "The organization's tentacles extend to countless places in the world..."

"If it really explodes in a crowded area or an area where important people are, both the actual consequences and public opinion will be extremely serious." After calmly analyzing the situation, Fūya Rei clenched his fists, "... Damn it!"

"If that's the case, that gentleman... wouldn't have linked the controller to his own heartbeat." Jiang Lai pursed his lips, "Maybe he also didn't leave the organization's base."

This is very, very difficult to do. Catching a person alive is always a very difficult thing to do.

"That gentleman would not link the controller to his heartbeat." Kurosawa Akira shook his head. "His regular treatment requires the removal of all external objects from his body. There cannot be any interference. So the sensor cannot be placed on his body."

"Besides, that gentleman doesn't like to do experiments on himself or have additional implants." Kurosawa Akira said slowly, "I am more inclined to believe that he has a remote controller, just like he controls the collar of Lei."

"Huh... It's relatively easy to operate with a controller." Jiang Lai relaxed a little.

"...If there really is such a thing, we must first deal with the controller problem before destroying the organization, right?" Fūya Rei's purple-gray eyes focused, "Otherwise, the higher-ups will definitely stop us at the last minute."

"If there is, this kind of thing is very difficult to get. At least, you have to have a chance to get close to it first." Zhu Fu Jingguang raised his eyes and lowered them slightly, analyzing.

"I'll try my best." Shuichi Akai touched the collar around his neck and replied.

I'm afraid Akai Shuichi can't get it, Jiang Lai thought to himself. That gentleman is still wary of him.

I originally thought that victory was within reach, but now it seems that it is not as easy as I imagined - after all, this is an organization that has existed for such a long time, it must have its own trump cards.

But Jiang Lai relaxed a little, after all, he had roughly guessed a possibility, and knowing something was better than being completely unknown. Knowing something meant that he might be able to find a solution.

His eyes briefly glanced at the silver-haired boy holding the water cup, but he didn't say much and returned his attention to the table.

After discussing for a while and exchanging information, Shuichi Akai decided to leave before dark. Jiang Lai did not forget to ask him to carry the garbage.

Jiang Lai: Although we have just finished discussing a serious topic, life still has to go on! =w=

Of course, Furuya Rei also needed to leave, and the disguised Morobushi Kagemitsu seemed to have some things to deal with with him, so he also followed him out.

Only Kurosawa Akira and Jiang Lai were left at home.

After everything inside and outside became quiet, Jiang Lai stuffed the candy in his pocket into Kurosawa Zhao's hand and said, "I bought this on my way home from get off work today. It's the brand you liked before." He smiled and said, "Can I chat with Xiao Zhao and ask some questions?"

The silver-haired boy raised his gray-green eyes, his expression extremely calm: "Brother Jiang Lai, what do you want to know?"

Jiang Lai looked down at Kurosawa Akira. He knew that the other party had always been very smart and had sharp judgment and decision-making ability.

But the question is, who taught us these?

Jiang Lai may have felt a little bit rebellious before, but he didn't think much about it. Now he knows more and more information, and after connecting everything, he finally discovered something.

Kurosawa Akira has many abilities that only superiors have. Under his immature appearance, he has enough ruthlessness and calm judgment, and he has a deep understanding of that gentleman. However, this should not be something that a simple experimental body can have.

Kurosawa Akira once said that the handover between him and the previous hidden boss was very hasty. In addition, there were spies inside the organization, so it was naturally impossible that these things were taught to Kurosawa Akira by the hidden boss.

"..." Jiang Lai gently reached out his hand and touched the silver-haired boy's smooth long hair, "I will always believe in Xiao Zhao."

Then he lowered his warm brown eyes and said, "Xiao Zhao, can you tell me about you and that gentleman?"
